assistant
An algorithm to capture an elephant without using any traps or weapons can involve building a secure enclosure with an opening large enough for the elephant to enter, and then placing a pile of its favorite food such as sugar cane or bananas just inside the opening. Once the elephant has entered, a team of people can quickly close the opening and secure the enclosure.
